Yesterday was one of those rare summer days in Madrid when the sky gets grey and you can smell the rain coming but it's still quite warm and the only two things you fancy doing are either having a 6-hour brunch in hangover ensembles or stay home and do a TV show marathon. I went for the latter and started on
Mad Men season 2. I am already on episode 7 and I can tell you the second season is a whole new world. You have met all the characters on season 1 and now you get to see more of their lives. The writers have this magnificent ability to show 48 minutes of mostly quotidian activities and make them feel absolutely fascinating. Not more fascinating than January Jone's indescribable beauté and Betty Draper's (her alter ego) wardrobe. The costume design seems even more remarkable having in mind the strong (late) 50's trends that will take over come fall. These are some of my favourite Betty Draper moments from season 2 so far.
This is Betty in action:
While I looked for the images I wanted to share with you I came across this '
Mad Men Yourself' tool where you get to choose your hair style, clothes and accessories (including Scotch and cigarettes) to create your 50's persona. This one below is mine (which I believe actually looks quite like me) next to Don Draper, so you also get a feel of the menswear in the show.
I'm off.

It is starting to feel like I really should start watching the show!

I haven't ever watched the show although with the hype surrounding the style, I really think I'm missing out! January's look is so classic, most certainly a style influence for the new season.
